Rise After the Fall

Summary

For five consecutive years, I secured eighty million in core contracts for the company.

Yet my salary remained six thousand.

At the annual company gala, I simply told my boss, “I want a raise.”

In response, he slapped me across the face three times right in front of the entire company.

“Do you think clients come to you? They recognize the company!

“Paying you six thousand is already charity, so don’t push your luck!”

Everyone in the office watched, laughing at me.

I said nothing, only quietly wiping the blood from my lip.
